Our First Christmas Tree

Last year, we had a tiny apartment with slanted walls, not very ideal for anything other than a table top Christmas tree.  Not that I'm bashing my old apartment, cause I'm not!  It was a PERFECT first apartment.  But this year, since we'll be spending the entirety of the holiday season here in Alaska by ourselves, we had absolutely no reason to not get a Christmas tree.  So, in keeping with Allsop family tradition, we got and decorated our tree the day after Thanksgiving.  It's the first time I've had a real tree for Christmas in years, and it has been so fun.  I'm especially excited to go shopping for ornaments AFTER Christmas for next year's tree!  We've had fun putting presents under our own tree and sitting by the lights at night.  Even though it will be strange to not spend the holidays with one of our families, we are kind of excited about spending Christmas with just the two of us.
